Mr. Chairman, I think you now have at hand the three amendments put forward by the Conservative Party. We cannot pass 21, because there is an amendment to this motion. I think the government House leader would agree with me. If we were to pass Motion No. 21, the changes to the amendments would automatically fall through.
